9) It’s always important to look forward to the future. Examine your team, and in 400 words or more, talk about how they can improve themselves to get a stab at trophy contention next year. Are you loaded with draft capital for the next draft? Do you have plenty of cap space to sign free agents? Go through the roster and note the different strengths and weaknesses, and how you think those will change over the next few seasons. How should your team adapt? (5 TPE)
The Yellowknife Wraiths' improved slightly from the Season 24 campaign, going from a 6 win 10 loss season to a record of 7 wins and 9 losses. Over these last two seasons, the Wraiths of Yellowknife continue to make changes in an attempt to recover from the massive wave of retirements following their championship in Season 23. During that time, the reigns of the offense were handed over to Colby Jack and Acura Skyline. Both are looking to return the Wraiths offense back to one of the leagues best like it was under Bigsby and Hanyadi. While the defense looks to looks to rebound after having back to back performances placing them at the bottom of the league.
Yellowknife had one of its best seasons moving the ball through the air last year, averaging nearly 280 passing yards per game. In only his sophomore season, Colby Jack finished third in the league in passing yards with 4475, and is definitely looking to continue to improve in the coming years. Where they struggled was on the ground, averaging less than 100 yards per game and placing them among the worst in the league in this category. With a sub 4 yard average on rushing attempts, it raises the question if it is a matter of scheme or personnel. My money is on the former, and hopefully the Wraiths hit the whiteboard in the offseason to improve this aspect of their offense.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, the defense has had two back to back declining years of production. The defense fell from allowing 24.8 points per game to allowing 26.3, and also went from allowing 228.7 passing yards per game to an astounding 277.6 yards per game. The front seven is the backbone of this defense and continue to perform at a high level, where the current lack of depth in the secondary continues to be the Achilles heel of the unit. Look for Yellowknife to address this issue in the draft and possibly free agency. Keep an eye on this defense, as they should noticeably improve of the next few seasons.
Overall, they Yellowknife Wraiths are in a good position to possibly sneak into the playoffs next season and are looking to contend for another title within the next three to four years. Adding another body in the secondary, while shoring up the running game while the young core continues to develop will surely lead to future success down the road for the franchise.
26) Present your argument for the playoffs MVP. Show their stats and impact on the games that they played. (2.5 TPE)
Well another season has come and gone, and that leaves us with the one questions everyone wants to know. Who played the best when their team needed it the most? That's right, who's the playoffs Most Valuable Player? Is it Colorado's McDummy, with his 892 passing yards, 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions? Or how about San Jose's Lackson and his 252 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns? While McDummy certainly put up good numbers through the air, he unfortunately he was completing less than HALF of his passes with 67 completions on 135 attempts and ultimately came up short in the Ultimus. Lackson was definitely productive, averaging 84 yards on the ground over his three games with 4 touchdowns and a two-point conversion. It's obvious that he was the key to San Jose's success, as the force fed him the ball with 68 rushing attempts resulting in only a 3.7 yard average.
The thing is, neither of them quite made the impact to earn the title of playoffs MVP. That title goes to Colorado's Melvin Murder-Moose, who over three games managed to rack up 21 tackles, 5 sacks, 4 pass deflections and an interception. Murder-Moose was playing like a man possessed and was essentially a one man wrecking crew, leading Colorado's defense back to the Ultimus.
